Background: African animal trypanosomosis is a major constraint to the rearing of productive livestock in the sub-humid Sudan-Sahel zone of West Africa where cotton is grown. Trypanosomosis is mainly controlled using trypanocidal drugs, but the effective use of drugs is threatened by the development of widespread resistance. This study tested integrated best-bet strategies for containment and/ or reversal of trypanocide resistance in villages in south-east Mali where resistance has been reported.

- Tsetse fly-transmitted African animal trypanosomosis causes significant economic losses in sub-Saharan Africa, contributing to hunger and poverty due to its impact on livestock production.
- Eight villages in southeast Mali were studied to assess the risk of trypanosomosis and the effectiveness of two different trypanocidal drugs on infected cattle.
- Results showed that about 15.7% of examined cattle were trypanosome-positive, with Trypanosoma congolense being the predominant species; both treatments had notable failure rates, particularly with the isometamidium chloride drug, highlighting challenges in managing this disease.
